Step Aerobics Routines To Start Your Day

Start your day with step aerobics! To get the full fat burning and weight loss benefits of step aerobics, try doing these two step aerobics routines before you have your breakfast.

The first video is for beginners, which the seasoned step aerobics enthusiast can also use to warm up. As you improve, you can progress to the second and third videos for more advanced steps. I have included two advanced step aerobics routines for the purpose of varying your workout.

Just do video 1, and either video 2 or 3. Doing two  routines will take a total of close to 20 minutes, which is the minimum recommended duration for a good cardio workout. If you like, you can use hand weights and ankle weights to tone your muscles as well.

Precautions To Take When Doing Step Aerobics

Although Step Aerobics offers many health and weight loss benefits, there are certain precautions to take to avoid any potential problems

  • keep your head up and the shoulders down
  • the whole foot should touch the floor when stepping off
  • keep your chest upright. Avoid leaning forward to minimize stress on the lower spine
  • keep your back, buttocks and abs taut
  • initially, keep the height of the step to a maximum of 4 inches
  • do not bend the knee to more than 90 degrees
  • when stepping up, place the foot on the center of the step with the heel down, to avoid tendon injury
  • warm up to reduce the possibility of injury

If you are nursing an injury or have not exercised in a while, consult your doctor first before embarking on an exercise program.  Have fun!
